I have had collector insurance on this car for the past 5 years. I had it reappraised every 3 months, so I kept the insurance up to date.

Its insured for a number I am happy with.

3200+ posts and it's been a looooong ride! Fantastic work and well deserved awards. Keep the photos coming and we want video of that first drive when it finally happens.

Does your company have the display rig you showed the car in? Or did you have to buy or rent it? That had to cost some serious 'pocket change', all by itself.

P.S. With all those awards, I'm very surprised you didn't get "Best of Show". What car did win it?

I'll get pictures tonight.

I bought the display for a really good price, as the guy wanted to get rid of it fast. It's a good investment for the future in my opinion. This won't be the last time we use it.

And I have 3 c3s. 78,9 and 80. We are about to get the 80 on the road. The 79 is a parts car and the 78 we plan to do what you have done.
I have read thru some of the your thread. Not all. Will finish reading it. You do great work. Inspirational.

Jeremy, you certainly aren't a rookie anymore! Maybe you should change the title of your thread, but then how would all your followers find it? Perhaps I could add your old rookie moniker to my old-fart name....

Great Work & Excellent Results

I'd love to, but unfortunately I can't really drive it until we are done showing it down South next year.

Thanks for all the compliments guys, it's been an incredible amount of work to get here.

Just curious, what website for cheap project cars are you talking about, or does any one have other ideas in mind?
